Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day! Today I have a couple of cards in honor of Memorial Day and the service and sacrifice of our military members. Both cards use some of the new images from DRS Designs. You can see all of the new images here.
I started this card by stamping the new Stars and Stripes Border image(938P) along the top of my white panel using Versafine Majestic Blue ink. Next I stamped the new Patriotic Heart(934G) and the God Bless America greeting with the same blue ink. I stamped the heart a second time onto white CS, colored it with Copics and after fussy cutting it I added it to the panel with foam squares. The panel was attached to a red panel that was punch with an EK Success stars border punch and then everything was added to the white card base. I had some red, white (clear) and blue rhinestone stars in my stash so I added some to complete the look.
My next card uses the new Camo image (823F). Since I wanted to use the Navy Seal on this card, I stamped the Camo image in the same Versafine Majesttic Blue ink, even though my son in law who serves in the navy now wears the green camo and not the blue.
The camo just didn't look quite right on white CS, so I went with a gray CS. After creating the background, I stamped the Navy Seal onto white CS with the same blue ink, heat embossed it with clear EP, die cut it and layered it onto a gray circle that was sponged along the edges with that blue ink. The seal is attached to the card base with foam adhesive for some dimension. I found some rhinestone anchors in my stash and added them for accents.
Thanks for stopping by today.
blessings,
shelia

Sheila, wonderful Memorial Day post! I love your red, white and blue card - super mixture of images. Your Navy card is awesome - you did a much better job with your camo stamping than I did! Super ideas and cards. Hugz
2 Awesome Memorial Day cards!! Your coloring on the God Bless America heart is outstanding and I love those heart shaped jewels! Your navy camo card is just perfect - I never thought to do it in blues!!
Beautiful heart you made Shelia! And your design is gorgeous! Love your card!
Your Navy card is beautiful as well! My dad was in the Navy and served in the South Pacific during WWII. My step dad as well though he was younger than my dad and never got past the training period before the war ended. He was training as a bombardier.
Your patriotic cards today are fantastic! I love the background on the Navy seal card and those little anchors are the perfect embellishment. The coloring on that beautiful heart is fabulous and the star embellishments are perfectly placed!
These are super, Shelia! After trying all my blue inks, I decided the VF majestic blue was the perfect colors & I see you agree! It looks wonderful on your very patriotic card. And it works equally as well on your navy camo card. Great look on that!
